When will my land be compulsorily acquired and by who?
Land affected by a PAO will be acquired based on the development needs of the precinct. The precinct will be built in stages and the supporting infrastructure will depend on the stage of construction.
You will be notified directly by council prior to the need to acquire your land and to advise you of the process and timeframes for this to occur. Council is the acquiring authority for all land designated with a PAO within the PSP.
The process that must be followed to acquire land is set out in the Department of Transport and Planning Guide to the Victorian Planning System: Acquisition and compensation.
